    .22lr suppressor

    A question please..... I'm totally confused as to which brand of suppressor to get for my new (factory threaded) Savage MkII .22LR? Any recommendations? Thanks

    I don't think it matters much if using subs. I had a Hushpower Braveheart which did a great job. Sold it to another forum member. Now have a Hardy over-barrel which does exactly the same thing at twice the price, but keeps overall gun length down a bit.

    popular brand is DPT. Modular , can be taken apart for cleaning , can add or subtract baffles as wanted . I own several of theirs and have been very happy with them.

    DPT are awesome, I have two of their centrefire suppressors, but haven't owned one of their rimfire suppressors. It's a shame they don't make an over-barrel rimfire suppressor, otherwise I would have happily given them my money.

    im considering using an overbarrel 223 suppressor like I had on the ar...I believe that was the same 1/2 x 28 thread and used to shoot 22 out of that and was no louder than my 22 marlin fitted with gunworks 22 suppressor. probably slightly quieter.

    I have 2 DPT rimfire, 1 centrefire. Love my DPT cans, you can also add and remove baffles as they are modular.

    I considered a DPT over-barrel centrefire suppressor for my rimfire, but it's quite a bit of unnecessary bulk/weight to carry around. My brand loyalty doesn't extend that far!

    Cannot go wrong with the DPT rimfire suppressor. Put about 3000 rounds through mine, and it has only been pulled apart and cleaned once. No signs of corrosion, so I suspect it will last as long as the barrel.
    Best suppressor I have had, would have to be one of those slip on plastic ones, with a massive internal volume. Cannot remember the brand. Downside is it was F'n ugly.
    I did use a centrefire 22 overbarrel suppressor on a 22lr with subs. Was no better or worse than the DPT muzzle can.

    Whichever one you choose, thread halfway through the barrel if it wiggles too much it’s likely to hit the side. Dpt seems very tight fit.

    I run 2x DPT as well - 22lr and 6.5 creedmoor - work great, use the 22lr with subs now nothing except the semi cycling in terms of noise.
    My hearing is pretty shot so I only shoot suppressed to save what I have left

    You can't shoot much 22lr through your suppressor.
    After 500+ rounds they need to be cleaned or lead and carbon fouling will build up very heavily and cause accuracy to turn to shit.

    Ase ecos on the 22 and the 17hmr . Nice small profile and good noise reduction .
    I dont take them apart to clean them but toss them into the ultra sonic cleaner every now and then
